Hello, Mrs.
Johnson, you self-righteous woman, Sunday [D] school teacher, what brings you out flummin'?
Do you reckon [A] the preacher would approve where [D] you are?
Standing [A] here fizzing with a backsliding [E] Christian in a neighborhood [A] bar.
Yes, that's my bottle, and yes, that's my glass,
And I see your [D] eye falling, this pretty young lass.
It ain't none [A] of your business, but yes, she's [D] with me,
And we don't need [A] no sermon, you self [E]-righteous woman, just let [A] us be.
The Lord knows [D] I'm drinking, and running [A] around,
And we don't need [D] your loud mouth informing the crowd.
[B] [E] The Lord knows [D] I'm sinning, and sinning [A] ain't right,
But me and [E] the good Lord will have us a good talk later [A] tonight.
Goodbye, Mrs.
Johnson, you self-righteous pity,
I don't [D] need your preaching, and I don't need your pity.
Go back [A] to whatever you [D] hypocrite do.
And when I [A] talk to heaven, be nice and I'll [E] put in a good word for you.
The Lord [D] knows I'm drinking, and running [A] around,
And we don't [D] need your loud mouth informing [E] the crowd.
The Lord [D] knows I'm sinning, and [A] sinning ain't right,
But me [E] and the good Lord will have us a good talk later [A]
